Best Wishes,

For five years, Andrew Venton spent more than 250 days per year traveling for international sales.  At nearly every agricultural trade show and event around the world, Venton saw the same company representatives - each of them having spent thousands of dollars to promote their product at that show.  In 2014, Venton, with the valued support of RDO Equipment, developed an international representative solution called NOMAD Ag Solutions to help these agricultural companies save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year on their export development programs, not to mention months of time.  Then, Venton took his 'ease-of-exporting' mission two steps further, first by developing an entity which uses virtual technology to connect sellers with buyers overseas, then by giving global sellers a home base in Alexandria, Minnesota to provide office facilities, store, demo, assemble and retail their products.

On November 26, 2014, the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the US Department of Commerce (BEA) reinstated a reporting requirement that it suspended in 2009 for budgetary reasons.  A US entity with 10% or more foreign ownership (direct or indirect) is required to file a report on Form BE-13 for many, but not all, types of foreign investment in the US, including establishing a new business, acquiring a business (either by purchasing stock or assets) or expanding an existing business.
